Sophia trained as a sculptor. Much of her work is created collaboratively with artists from other disciplines and audience interaction is often an integral component. She makes work in a variety of contexts – from black box theatre to public spaces – a shopping centre, a playground in a park; inside and outside; temporary and permanent.
Her relationship with Theatre-Rites began in 1998 when she worked as the installation artist on The Lost and Moated Land. As an Associate Artist of the company, she designed many touring and site-specific productions including Shopworks, commissioned by LIFT and the Vienna Festival in 2003, the touring show In One Ear and in 2007 she co-created Theatre-Rites first middle-scale prduction Mischief, which was commissioned by Sadler’s Wells and the Dance Touring Partnership. In 2004 she collaborated with composer Craig Vear to create a two-month long installation, Outside In commissioned by the South Bank Centre.
